Silicon Valley Continues To Torture People With Its Terrible Rapping

0

There needs to be a word for when someone could effectively function as a parody of themselves, because this tendency is exaggerated in the age of social media.

Everyone knows someone who posts inspirational quotes to Facebook all day, or name drops incessantly on Path or uses dumb and arbitrary hashtags on Twitter. #hashtags #on #Twitter

No one is immune, and in fact, Silicon Valley, being the rarefied echo chamber that it is, seems to constantly encourage these sorts of self-parody, self-aware or not (it’s not always clear). Perhaps one of the most abused of these tropes is “Programmers, Bloggers and Investors Rapping”; some have pulled it off, and some haven’t, but either way, it’s uncanny how much we do it.
